They have been moving things to apps so they can substitute piecemeal the open source OS with their close sources: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/07/googles-iron-grip-on-android-controlling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/

That article is 12 years old. It has only gotten worse.

How do you opt out for already created content in the past?

Copyright and license laws for you, not for me. This is the biggest theft ever.

A next generation open source ww2/propeller combat flight sim from the community by the community. Sims (of any type) are a captive market so they are barely what they could be in this day and age. Open source sim and libraries could help in "pulling a Blender" with a next gen engine like Bevy engine.

There's a solution for reducing population while increasing birthrates: war, pandemias and forced ~~inoculations~~ inseminations (physically or by peer pressure).

Edit: I'm not an antivaxxer, that's just idiotic. I'm talking antiabortion and religion.

For racing, you have Fly Dangerous. It is also a successful FOSS game!

Bahasa is incredibly simple. It has no articles, genders, time conjugations or adverbs. You just say "I eat yesterday cake" for example

Follow-up: teach them to learn to troubleshoot and search. Take the fear of breaking something from them by providing them with a VM with windows where they need to fix something or install a driver. Provide them with a Linux VM just for them to try too.

Teach them mistrust. Make them upload things to a copy of Google docs or something, and then show how you have access to everything.

Teach them about open source as a precondition for being able to trust software.

I would go with tasks where they get to "hack" or learn about each other. Give them usb sticks, make them put a silly trivia on an encrypted 7z with passwords that are somewhat crackable. Then, take their usbs from them, and distribute them randomly, and let them use jack the ripper or so. Twist, you would have added a virus or something into the USB stick, so they get infected with a "silly pop up" once they start jack the ripper. They get to play, and the exercise will stick with them.

Teach them about 10 minute mails pages, to open a silly account t somewhere.

Make them use a VPN like mullvad or some that you have set up to access a specific page or make web searches. They can notice the difference in content depending on the country they are exiting with. Twist: you control the VPN, provide them at the end with a list of accessed pages so they understand how the vpns do not ensure privacy. Explain simply what a VPN is (tunnel,etc).

Not even, it will suffocate on its own by having the capitalists keeping their changes from each other. Like a bucket of crabs; where if one crab is about to get free the others grab onto it and pull it down.

Kernels really benefit from being "forced" to share the code changes as the GPL license, they are too tied to HW, and HW needs a lot of capital when iterating.
